#!/bin/sh


# Little custom script to :
# - check if the system has a heavy swap activity
# - record swapin activity as perfdata
#
# For pnp4nagios' sake, create a file usually named 'check_nrpe_swaping.cfg'
# (depends on your configuration) with the following content :
#  DATATYPE = COUNTER,COUNTER


# Default values
THRESHOLD_WARNING="1000"
THRESHOLD_CRITICAL="2000"
VMSTAT_PREVIOUS_DATA_FILE="/tmp/.monitoring_vmstat.txt"


# Output
OUTPUT_EXIT_STATUS=0
OUTPUT_DETAIL_WARNING=""
OUTPUT_DETAIL_CRITICAL=""
OUTPUT_PERFDATA=""

PROGPATH=$( echo $0 | sed -e 's,[\\/][^\\/][^\\/]*$,,' )
REVISION="0.1"

# Stop at the first non-catched error
set -e

# Include check_range()
. $PROGPATH/utils.sh
# If you don't have the previous file, just comment the line and uncomment the following
# (it's only possible because we don't use the range checking function in this script)
#STATE_OK=0
#STATE_WARNING=1
#STATE_CRITICAL=2
#STATE_UNKNOWN=3
#STATE_DEPENDENT=4

usage() {
	cat <<EOF
Usage :
  $0 [-w warning_threshold] [-c critical_threshold] [-f vmstat_previous_data_file ]

Note 1 : the script will measure the number of seconds passed since its last call and will
         divide the measures accordingly, so write the thresholds using pages/s in mind.
         The script will measure against pswpin and pswpout added together.

Note 2 : the thresholds use the kernel page size as unit. Use 'getconf PAGESIZE' to get it if needed.

Default values:
  warning_threshold         : $THRESHOLD_WARNING
  critical_threshold        : $THRESHOLD_CRITICAL
  vmstat_previous_data_file : $VMSTAT_PREVIOUS_DATA_FILE
EOF
